The jokes on you...

Call me weird and this is totally random but…I tend to laugh when I’m really upset. You know how when you’re really cold your body shivers to warm itself up? Well I laugh to calm my rage down. Now this tends to piss people off because they don’t find the humor and simply don’t understand what I’m doing. I don’t expect them to. I mean its very rare that I become very upset, I might get a bit annoyed or aggravated but hardly ever angry. Anywwwaaay so I was listening to throwbacks all day today, which is a norm for me and I started jamming to Usher, “You make me wanna.” This use to be one of my FAVORITE songs…still is. Well, here’s the video in case it’s one of your favs as well. Enjoy! XoXXoXXo

Who's The Boss?!

I swear to goodness that I’m tired of constantly being told what to do. At work I have bosses that order me around. At school my professor is kind of like my boss (he’s in charge). At home my parents tell me what to do. Like daaaagggg can I get a break? I don’t know what’s going to happen to me in life because I believe I have a little problem with authority. I don’t like being told what to do. You know what scratch that I don’t mind being told what to do. I do have a problem when people are breathing down my neck, watching over me making sure that I do it. If you told or showed me what to do then I can do it. No problem. Just give me my space to do it. I hate being under a watchful eye. I find it to be a bit insulting it’s as if you’re saying I’m incompetent and I can’t get the job done. It gets on my last nerve. If I need help then I am old enough to open my mouth and ask for it. Tuh! I hate when people feel the compelling need to show, “who is in charge.” I know your title, take it easy! Forgive my ranting but some people make it so hard to stay in character. ANYWAY, I’m seriously feeling like I need these Yves Saint Laurent‘s artsy rings in my life. I came across them and fell in love! With all this April showers, I wish it would rain diamonds. But that’s only in my dreams.

Most dudes that I know wouldn’t even go near a pair of kicks like these but I would def bang out real hard in these if I were a guy. But wait a girl could def wear these hmm…

Went to sleep in Paris...woke up in Tokyo

These last few days I’ve been forced to make a few decisions. Although they were nothing major, it has altered my pathway a bit. I’m proud that I’ve actually taken some risks and stepped out of my comfort zone. It’s a scary yet, pleasant feeling. Usually when things get too comfortable and what you’re doing no long stimulates or challenges you; it’s time to move on. And that’s exactly what I’m doing, moving on. Anyway, I’m feeling really relaxed. I’m listening to Lupe Fiasco’s song “Paris to Tokyo” remix ft. Pharell, Q-Tip and Sarah Green. It’s such a great song *on repeat.*  I live for moments like this, where I feel like no one can tell me anything and I can do whatever I please. I wish this feeling would never ever leave. I hope whenever I’m down in the dumps and I feel like everything is crumbling around me that I can remember this moment. Because right now man oh man I feel like streaking through the park and not caring who’s looking, just running free. I feel like people get so caught up in trying to please others, trying to maintain a certain image, trying to evolve into a person who they are not. There is nothing wrong with just being you. Always try to be the best YOU that you can be. But I get it because sometimes I sit back and watch other people and I’m like, “damn that person is making moves. That person is going places. That person has it all!” Then I remind myself that, that person isn’t me. Instead of being envious I let that person become my inspiration, if they can do it, I can certainly do it too. I’m going to do it better! What’s so beautiful about this life is that tomorrow can always be a new beginning. Tomorrow you can wake-up with a new and improved attitude. But why wait ‘til tomorrow? Make it happen NOW! Why not? Stop thinking about it and do it. Thinking about it too much is just wasting time. Grab on to the next second. Don’t make it difficult. It’s simple. It’s like Jesse Jackson once said, “If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, then I know I can achieve it!” And with that I wish all my darlings a wonderful day! XoXXoXXo

This made me laugh. It reminded me of a friendlol.

Make-Up & Margaritas!

Hello my favorite gumdrops! Yesterday was such a beautiful day it is finally beginning to feel like spring! ^__^. So…because it was such a lovely day I decided to take full advantage of it. After my class was over me my right hand girl decided to hang out. Whom am I speaking of? Vivian of course! Anyhoo, I am starting to dabble a bit in make-up and needed a few new products for the spring. So we hit up the M.A.C Cosmetics store in Brooklyn heights. Spent about an hour there, learning what colors look best on me and how to apply different things. I am at a total lost when it comes to things like that Vi excels in this department. But I’m learning…slowly. Anyhow, afterwards we strolled down the block to the Haagen Dazs ice cream shop for some sorbet and ice cream, yum! We didn’t realize how intense the sun was until we sat along the promenade. My raspberry sorbet sure did come to the rescue, that’s for sure. By now it was still early, so hoped in a cab and off to park slope we went. We hit up a few great thrift stores on our way to the bar for some margaritas. It was just the perfect ending to such a wonderful day. It had all the key elements: great company, food, drinks, awesome conversation and shopping! Ah the simple things make me so happy! The trifles of life!

I LOVE This Pic, So Fab!

Do you guys remember these? They use to be in front of pretty much all supermarkets back in the day. I use to be like a crack fiend for those horses! I use to beg my mom for a quarter so I could ride it (no pun intended lol). And those little toy machines inside the market, put a quarter in and win a prize! So nostalgic! 

Needless to say, I got to spend the remainder of my night with my absolute favorite guy…my nephew! <3. Until next time…XoXXoXXo
